General Election Predictions

[RobTheRover]

I believe that the main issue for May was all of those people who keep pointing out that she wasn't voted in as pm.  The timing arose where an increased majority looked likely as well, but I'm not convinced that was the reason in itself

I heard another reason, direct from a Guardian journo.

[Donnywolf]

Rosie oh Rosie I'd like to paint your picture in the sky ...
Was that Leapy Lee?
Anyway she's been a good MP and is very approachable. 5 more years for her.

Believe without googling ... that was Don Fardon *

Leapy Lea is what May should get .... "Little arrows"

* Don Partridge was my initial and correct thought !

Don Fardon was another one hit wonder with " took the whole Indian nation ...... put em on this  Reservation "

(Nowt to do wi' Election but I cant wait till a minute past 10 tonight when the Result comes in ! Boing - Theresa May's majority halved - Boing - Theresa May not looking so strong and stable any more- Boing )

I personally could not bear it if she comes out smelling of Roses and worst does another Thatcher parody on the Road outside Number 10.

And I just do not care who wins, non of us here will get any recognition for supporting our football club. But who ever wins has a battle at home, also in Europe and the world too because of terrorism - Trade Partners and getting us out of the EU. I am glad it is not me having to do it. I am wrestling with should I or should I not sell my house.Now that is important to me. I have got season tickets sorted. And today I planned to cut the back grass but it is raining. So every cloud does have a silver lining.

Wimp ! Get a plassie mac on and a circuit breaker (oh and ignore the Wimp jest)

Good job we have been friends for many years.

I will be the first to celebrate if I'm wrong.

That's pretty much how the spread betting firms see it.

Pains me to say it but tories with an overall 20+ majority I hope I am wrong though.

[Herbert Anchovy]

I'm afraid to say that the Tories will win and will win handsomely. Maybe not the landslide that they wanted but they will win comfortably. Listening to callers on a radio phone in yesterday it seems that people want a PM who is willing to nuke Russia rather than one who will sort out the NHS. But I guess that's the joy of democracy...

Reason being?

I'm hoping the tory's win this with around a 20-30 seat majority..That would be the ideal result...The problem I have is that Labour cant win a majority to be the new government...That means the best they can hope for is a hung parlament were they will try and form a coalition with the SNP who will use another referendum as a bargaining chip and allow them to negotiate there own terms for going it alone...So we could end up being ruled jointly with a party whose main point of existence is to split from England...She only talks about Scotland..They don't give 2 tosses about us down south....How can any of you honestly believe that's the best option for this country is simply beyond me...But we are all entitled to our opinion...

Just as it's beyond me how anyone could choose a party who will decimate the NHS, reduce police numbers, sell arms to Saudi, persecute the disabled and bring back fox hunting for their rich donors. As you say though, all entitled to our opinions...

[Padge_DRFC]

This will be the problem. When the Tories win will we have the same issue from the left wing lunatics that couldn't accept the Brexit result?

If giving a shit about the NHS, police numbers, disabled welfare rights and social care makes me a left wing lunatic then I guess I'm guilty as charged. Lets face it, nobody can be voting Conservative if they seriously support the NHS can they? Anyway, I voted for Brexit so I'm not sure where that puts me in the generalisation stakes

[Padge_DRFC]

I'm solely on about the lunatics that want to protest about everything that doesn't go their way and the majority like last time probably haven't voted again

[Colemans Left Hook]

My ball says an overall majority of 12 seats for Mrs May

and Corbin will be back to eating cold baked beans out of a tin with a spoon

They have been moaning and demonstrating to get fox hunting legalised again for years.

There is a school of thought that this might actually be a good election to lose:

There was a school of thought that the 2010 election would be a good one to lose.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Wow, if the BBC/ITV/Sky exit poll is anywhere near right, May has got to resign.

[Akinfenwa]

f**king hell! Wasn't expecting that exit poll.

[Guernsey Exile]

But who is she going to align with?

[Glyn_Wigley]

But who is she going to align with?

After banging on about 'coalition of chaos' can they do so without looking incredibly foolish?

If the exit poll is right its going to get very messy

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Very messy and weird to see labour guys celebrating a potential loss...

[Akinfenwa]

Preventing a Con majority would be one of the biggest political upsets the UK has ever seen.

Quite an interesting piece that.
Whoever wins the election, it would be good for the other party to take note of that before steaming into them.

I think they'll be celebrating the gains they make.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Either way, it looks like being a long, but very interesting, night!
